Cornelia Moore Dental Foundation

The Mission of the Cornelia Moore Dental Foundation is to provide dental care so that all Santa Barbara children, regardless of income or economic or social status, shall be free of pain and disability. Consistent with the trend we have seen over the past several years, the Foundation in 2017 received even fewer direct requests for dental treatment for qualifying children. In recognition of this trend, the Board felt that a more effective use of our treatment funds would be to make one or more grants to the Eastside Family Dental Clinic, to be used for the same types of children the CMDF serves. The Board agreed to present the Eastside Clinic with a grant, requiring that the Clinic report the numbers of children served and treatment given. The Foundation will, however, continue to be available for assistance to certain uninsured, low-income children who have no other options for treatment. We will monitor these requests annually to evaluate how future donations should be made.Other chi
